Two goals like two suns. faith Valverde And Vinicius They fired their powerful shots to give victory to the Real Madrid against him Villarreal on Saturday evening. The white team improved its image, which it needed after the latest results. And the things in life he sleeps on par with him Barca. Things wouldn’t be that bad, as Ancelotti said. [Narración y estadísticas: Real Madrid 2-0 Villarreal]
The Barça team will feel some pressure when they go out to play this Sunday. Mendizorrosis against him Alavés (4:15 p.m.). Because it hasn’t been long since Barça had a solid advantage at the top, but they are already feeling the breath of Madrid. And without shining, because this Madrid does not shine collectively, but it crushes with its individual talent.
There has been a previous tribute to Paralympic medalists, including the son of Madrid’s goalkeeping coach, the swimmer Inigo Llopis. There was also one, informal and improvised, for the highly anticipated Kroos, visiting the stadium. What seemed like a night of celebration was ruined at the last minute with what appeared to be a serious knee injury. Carvajal.
Rodrygo was a substitute again at Real Madrid and Ancelotti gave the title to Modric And Camavingáwho moved Tchouaméni to the central position. The Italian coach took the opportunity to give Militaryout of the match against Lille. In front would be the Villarrealthat of Marcellinwho knows what it’s like to beat the white team with four different teams, including the “Yellow Submarine”, and is always a threat during his visits to the Saint-Jacques Bernabéu.
Madrid came into the match with momentum. He was forced to do so after the debacles that followed during the derby and Europe. And it was with ample momentum that Fede Valverde opened the scoring in the first quarter of an hour.
It was a corner that Modric missed. Bellingham let the ball pass – well seen by the Englishman – and there the Uruguayan found himself, with a few juicy free meters in front of him to arm his right leg and take the whip. He gave the ball Baenajust enough to avoid Diego Count on the way to the goal. Fede celebrated it with rage, as usual, by unleashing madness at the Bernabéu, and showing the stands. He was there, in one of the boxes, with his family, Tony Kroos. From “8” to “8”.
Madrid dealt the first blow in the match, but it was not enough to appease the Castellón team. Two minutes after the goal, a header Pepe crashed into the crossbar of the goal Lunine. Villarreal’s danger came from the heights, also taking advantage of the 1.95 meters of its attacker, Thierno Barryand the imbalances behind White when playing in space. One of the worst evils of this Real.
Despite the advantage on the scoreboard, the local team played little to say the least and was even sometimes overtaken by Villarreal. In some trouble he saw Carvajal for his group with Baena. Tchouaméni, better central defender than pivot, even if it pains him to be told so, was not completely inspired either. Camavinga, in place of his compatriot, improved all his teammates. Like the omnipresent Valverde.
Madrid experienced individual flashes from some of its players, and these fell from the hands of Vinicius. For the Brazilian, if he gets one, he gets them all. Two of his entries into the box lit up the Bernabéu and the third time he “received” the yellow card from a beaten team. kiko Feminism. These actions of the “7” merengue changed the dynamic of the game in the last quarter of an hour of the first half: he almost scored Bellingham from outside the box and almost scored Mbappé after a brilliant combination with Vini. He almost didn’t learn French. Always just a little.
After halftime, the same 22 came out. Madrid couldn’t relax, even though “party mode” was sometimes activated at the Bernabéu. Kroos supporters were chanting, focused on the stadium screens, when Barry fell into the white zone. Some who paid tribute to the German – which will never be out of place – failed to notice how Villarreal got there. Fortunately for those at home, the VAR He warned of the attacker’s offside. Otherwise, it was the maximum sentence.
Minutes passed and, on the contrary, nothing happened. If that, some tackle or push without penalizing it made Vinicius angry. And the more time progressed, the more Madrid, in retreat, played with fire. Marcelino, to stir up the hornet’s nest, made a triple change. Out AlbiolPepe and Baena. Inside Bailly, Akhomash And Yeremi Pine. Man for man, but fresh legs is what the game needed. Ancelotti responded by removing Mbappé and Camavinga to put them Rodrygo and Militao. Tchouaméni, at the pivot.
Mbappé came out and the best Vinicius appeared. Inside, thanks to the theoretical position of the Frenchman, the Brazilian received the ball. When we expected one of his electric bursts or a few dribbles, he surprised by shooting with force. The ball went into the top corner. Looking at the “7” on his back, it was impossible not to think of Cristiano Ronaldo’s goals in the same jersey. “Ballon d’Or; Vinicius, Ballon d’Or”, immediately intoned the Bernabéu. In 23 days your special moment will arrive. His whip is used to open his mouth.
Vinicius injured his collarbone in a subsequent play and, as a precaution, was substituted. entered Burn Guler play the last quarter of an hour. Already in the reduction, he had to enter Lucas Váquezbut the leitmotif of the change seemed none other than to give Modric, replaced, one of those ovations that taste like long farewells which are moving.
Everything seemed destined for a peaceful end and what you never wanted to happen happened. Suddenly, Carvajal fell to the ground. The Spanish player, with the captain’s armband on his arm, was writhing in pain and could not hold back his tears. The problem was with the right knee. A tragic end to what should have been a night of Madrid joy.
